"We have to deliver high availability and performance no matter how remote a location is on our network."
Remote locations such as offshore platforms or unmanned substations, and the underlying performance monitoring systems such as SCADA, are increasingly connected and integrated with IP-based networks. This is placing greater performance and availability requirements on the network and IT systems, especially at remote locations.

Emerging compliance standards such as the FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) Electric Reliability standards, are placing additional pressures on IT departments to ensure that the systems they manage are not only reliable, but also secure from unauthorized access. A complete audit trail of all changes made to the IT infrastructure as well as real-time detection and remediation of compliance breaches are increasingly required.
The Uplogix Automated Remote Management (ARM) platform addresses these unique challenges by providing secure, automated management across the network. The Uplogix ARM appliance collocates with network equipment to provide local management and control, eliminating time-consuming and expensive tech support trips to remote locations to make routine network repairs.
From the Uplogix Control Center administrators can centrally manage all network devices and systems connected to Uplogix management appliances via an easy-to-use, web-based interface.
Key Benefits and Capabilities
- Reduces Costs and Improves Availability by automating recovery from network outages, service disruptions and equipment failures. Routine maintenance tasks such as provisioning services or reconfiguring devices can also be automated, resulting in lower on-site support costs and shortened maintenance cycles. Manages power controllers enabling remote system reboots.
- Enforces Security Standards and Compliance Auditing even during network outages
- Provides Constant Access to the distributed IT infrastructure by operating both in-band and out-of-band to ensure always-up availability and secure management
- Delivers In-depth, System Monitoring, Alerting and Reporting by performing real-time, console-based monitoring and management of both IP-based applications and RS-232 communications (i.e. SCADA systems)
- Simplifies Management Complexity by centralizing the administration and control of enterprise-wide, IT management tasks, and integrates seamlessly with existing system monitoring and management systems
